Uddāna
Uddāna，（nt．） [fr．ud + dā，dayati to bind：see under dāma] a group of Suttas，used throughout the Vinaya Piṭaka，with ref．to each Khandhaka，in the Saṁyutta，the Aṅguttara and other books （cp．Miln．407） for each group of about ten Suttas （cp．DhsA．27）．The Uddāna gives，in a sort of doggerel verse，at the end of each group，the titles of the Suttas in the group．It may then be roughly rendered “summary”．If all the Uddānas were collected together，they would form a table of contents to the whole work．-- Otherwise the word has only been found used of fishes “macchuddāna” （so J．II，425； DhA．II，132）．It then means a group of fish placed apart for for sale in one lot．Perhaps a set or a batch would meet the case．（Page 135）
